Enables Staff to Instantly Search, Retrieve and Manage Critical IT Administrative Passwords from Anywhere in the World Using A Web Browser

Cyber-Ark(R) Software, the information security company that invented and markets Vaulting Technology(TM), today announced a new clientless Web Interface to the Network Vault(R) for passwords (Password Vault).

Network Vault for Passwords provides a "safe haven" within the enterprise where all administrative passwords can be archived, transferred and shared among IT staff, on-call administrators, as well as administrators in the field. The new Password Vault Web Access Interface is an intuitive, user-friendly mechanism used to search for an organization's critical network infrastructure passwords - such as firewalls, routers and switches - that can be used without any prior training. By turning any Internet-connected computer into a secure Web access interface to the Vault, administrators can quickly find the passwords they need to any piece of equipment located anywhere in the world.

This clientless interface delivers a Google-like search mechanism that lets administrators find Vaulted passwords based on any number of customizable criteria, including IP Address, device type (server, router) and password types. The interface can be easily customized to match an IT organization's intranet, desired search parameters and security access policies and provides a complete audit trail of password access, use and changes.

"Speed and accessibility are essential when administrators need to get the required passwords, especially during downtime, without sacrificing security," said Tom Crawford, president and CEO of Cyber-Ark. "Last year, Cyber-Ark automated the time-consuming change management aspects of sound administrative password policy. With the unveiling of the new Web Interface, Cyber-Ark has further streamlined and secured the vital enterprise task of managing passwords."

Network Vault for Passwords is an end-to-end solution that protects passwords during transmission and at rest with multiple layers of integrated security, granular access control mechanisms and graphical auditing solutions to thoroughly track every password's whereabouts. It also includes a Central Password Manager that enables organizations to change passwords automatically on remote machines and then store these new passwords in the Vault, without any human intervention and all according to predefined organizational policy. The Central Password Manager contains built-in methods that change third-party entity passwords, such as a Windows Domain administrator password and a Unix Root user password.
